red hunter

Chapter 14
"Really? That's great!" Etta immediately became excited. This problem really troubled him for a long time along the way. He came to Ouyang Kai in a few steps, pretending to be listening attentively and waiting to see.

Ouyang Kai smiled, took out the small bag made of wild boar bladder, and handed it to Etta: "There is still the head of that black mamba snake in it, take it out, and carefully use the fangs on this person Tie it on your body..."

Under the cover of the dense forest, two hunters of the Eku tribe bowed their bodies, opened their eyes vigilantly, and held daggers soaked in the sap of poison arrow wood in their hands, moving quietly along the gaps in the bushes between the trunks .

A series of abnormal noises from this direction just now aroused their vigilance, and the two of them searched carefully for a long time around the location where the abnormal noises came from, but found nothing abnormal.

"Maybe it's just a wild boar." One of them straightened up slightly and said in a low voice.

His companion also breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully inserted the poisonous dagger back into the leather sheath around his waist. The two of them observed it carefully before turning around and preparing to return.

"Shhhh-"

Suddenly, two vines as thick as thumbs hung down from the tree trunk above the two people's heads almost at the same time, and the vines wrapped around the necks of the two people accurately and quickly like two poisonous snakes pouncing on their food.

Immediately afterwards, two black figures jumped down from the other end of the vine, dragging the two Eku hunters who had been bound tightly around their necks to the ground.The two hunters struggled desperately, but no sound could come out of their throats.

Then, everything became quiet, and the fallen hunters no longer struggled, because at this moment their hearts were holding the poisonous daggers that belonged to them.

Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong tied the two hunters with vines like rice dumplings, and dragged them to the depths of the bushes surrounded by several big trees.Yasha and Etta were relieved to see them back.

"If you don't want to die, tell me where Hailu is!" Yasha's voice was still clearly heard by the two prisoners.The two looked at Yasha who spoke their native language in surprise. In the dark night, her once docile and kind eyes were shining with stern light.

The two hunters were not as strong-willed as the first captive, and one of them replied tremblingly, "Hailu...the great chief...is...in the tribe!"

"How many of you are in the woods?" Yasha continued to ask.

"Two...two...twenty...twenty people!" The other said hastily, and then cried and begged, "Please forgive us...we were forced to..."

"Forced? Who forced you?" Yasha frowned.

"It's Chief Hailu, he is our great chief, and those of us in small tribes dare not disobey his orders..."

"You don't belong to Hailu's original tribe?" Yasha frowned even more tightly.

The captive nodded and replied dejectedly: "Yes! Our own tribe was annexed by Chief Hailu, and we had to work for him. Hailu killed our chief and controlled our family..."

Yasha was very surprised, and asked again. The two captives hardly made any resistance, and answered all her questions truthfully.

"Yasha, what's going on?" Ouyang Kai came over and asked softly.

Yasha translated in a low voice: "These two people came from another Eku tribe in the forest, Hailu killed their chief, forced their tribe to move out of the valley mouth, and controlled all their families. Hailu divided these hunters from other tribes into many teams, each led by hunters from his own tribe. These hunters were working for Hailu unwillingly, but if they didn't work for him, their families They will be cursed by the goddess, and none of them will survive!

"There are more than 50 hunters in Hailu's own tribe. They are the direct descendants of Hailu and are responsible for leading the hunters of other small tribes. The one that arrived was one of them. And...they were the ones ordered to slaughter our tribe!

"There are twenty hunters in the woods where we are now patrolling and guarding, and two of them are members of the Hailu tribe, and they are also their leaders. Only they know Hailu's exact location."

"So that's what happened!" Ouyang Kai seemed relieved, smiled, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Yasha, try to persuade the two of them to help us get those two Lu's hunter came here."

Yasha nodded, and went back to the two captives, talking with them in their own language.The two looked at Yasha suspiciously, and first shook their heads desperately, looking terrified.Later, Yasha persuaded them a little more, and the two glanced at Ouyang Kai and the others standing aside from time to time, as if they were touched by Yasha's words, then became emotional, and finally nodded.

"They agreed!" Yasha turned around happily and signaled to Ouyang Kai, "They said that all the tribesmen in the small tribe have had enough of the oppression of Hailu and his hunters, if we can save them and their families, they will Just willing to do things for us!"

"Then how did you convince them?" Ouyang Kai was very interested in this question.

"I told them my identity, and at the same time told them that the goddess they believed in was a devil through and through, and that Hailu would not end well if he worked as a minion for a tiger! I also told them that you are the emissary sent by the snake god , is specially here to punish these devils!"

"Yasha, you are a very good negotiator!" Ouyang Kai looked appreciative, "It seems that things are much smoother than we imagined!"

Yasha was praised and lowered his head shyly.At this time, several short insect calls suddenly sounded in the woods, and then the same sound came from several different directions.The weird cry spread far in the silent night, which had to alert everyone, and they all crouched down.

Yasha quietly talked with the two captives, and came back to report to Ouyang Kai: "This is the sound of hunters patrolling in the woods reporting to each other to determine whether the area everyone is patrolling is safe."

"Tell them to respond!" Ouyang Kai pointed to the two prisoners.

"Is it safe to respond?" Yasha hesitated.

"No!" Ouyang Kai shook his head, "Respond to the discovery of an emergency here!"

"Okay!" Yasha immediately understood what Ouyang Kai meant, and went to whisper to the two prisoners.The two captives who had been completely persuaded by Yasha nodded hurriedly. Seeing this, Etta untied them and stood behind them with a gun.

One of the captives took out a bark whistle tied with a hemp rope from his waist, put it near his mouth and blew it quickly, it still sounded like some kind of insect, but this time the sound was different from that heard in the woods. The sound that comes is very different.

"They will come around soon!" Another prisoner reported proactively.

Ouyang Kai nodded, walked between the two prisoners, and briefly explained a few words under Yasha's translation.The two captives obviously haven't forgotten the scene of their arrest, and Yasha's effective psychological persuasion just now, they are already respectful to Ouyang Kai at this time, and they can't stop nodding.

Ouyang Kai issued an order to Fu Xiaofeng who was lurking not far away, and at the same time, everyone present took action.

Etta took Yasha to the top of a big tree and hid herself among the dense vines and leaves wrapped around the trunk, while Luo Hong and Ouyang Kai hid themselves in the bushes on the left and right sides of the two captives.The two surrendered captives still stood where they were, waiting for the arrival of other hunters.

Now and then in the woods came the call of insects that communicated among the hunters, and then there was the rustling of men passing through the undergrowth in every direction.The voices were getting closer and closer, gradually approaching the position of the two prisoners.

Immediately afterwards, black shadows appeared one after another in the dark night, gathering more and more—the hunters gathered urgently.

"Who sent the warning signal?" In the darkness, a tall hunter asked nervously.

"It's us, Haka and Muro." One of the hunters named Haka followed Ouyang Kai's instructions and tried his best to keep calm, and replied.

"Damn it! What happened?" The tall hunter had already seen Haka and Muro standing between the bushes, his heart was relieved, and his tone returned to his usual arrogance. His hard bow and poisonous arrows returned to their backs and walked towards the two of them.

"It's a wild boar, we scared it away just now." Haka replied.

"Damn it! Is it just a wild boar? Damn it! You made me come all the way because of a wild boar? I think you don't want to live anymore!" another voice cursed viciously, speaking The one next to the tall hunter, not tall, but very strong.

"Bazu, Baro, what are you yelling about? Chief Hailu asked us to patrol here, of course we should be more vigilant." Muro was obviously not frightened, and he said righteously, "You two as the chief Shouldn't the hunters of the Horde be as vigilant as we are?"

Muro's words immediately revealed the identities of the two Hailu tribe hunters. At the same time, Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong who were hiding on both sides of the woods naturally locked on to them.

"Damn! When is it your turn to teach us a lesson? See if I don't dig your heart!" The shorter Baro was obviously irritated by Muro's words of "no respect for elders", and he pulled up Pulling out the steel knife from his waist, he rushed towards the two of them.
